Device types

  • CPAP: a constant or automatically regulated pressure keeps the airways open – the standard for obstructive sleep apnoea. CPAP devices →
  • Bilevel / BiPAP: two pressure levels for inhalation and exhalation, e.g. when a high pressure is needed.
  • ASV: adaptive servo-ventilation adjusts support breath by breath – used only after medical assessment.
  • Ventilators: for home ventilation with alarm functions and batteries. Only for trained users or after instruction.

CPAP or BiPAP – what is the difference?

A CPAP device produces a constant pressure throughout the breathing cycle. With auto-CPAP the device adjusts this pressure within a range set by your doctor. A BiPAP or bilevel device works with two separate pressure levels: a higher pressure for inhalation (IPAP) and a lower one for exhalation (EPAP). The difference between them is called pressure support.

Frequently asked questions

Can I buy a ventilator privately?

Yes, but ventilators and bilevel devices must only be used on prescription and after instruction.

What is the difference between CPAP and BiPAP?

CPAP uses one pressure level, BiPAP two separate levels for inhalation and exhalation.

Do you offer technical service for ventilators?

We technically check CPAP and BiPAP devices – see our service page.

What do S, ST and VAuto mean on the AirCurve 10?

S switches with your breathing, ST adds a backup rate, VAuto adjusts the pressures automatically within set limits.

We do not replace medical advice. Only change therapy pressure and settings as prescribed by your doctor.
